Indian Railways has upgraded the communication system on the Raebareli-Prayagraj-Kanpur rail line. New network towers have been installed to ensure that connectivity between railway stations remains active at all times. This move aims to prevent train delays caused by communication failures.
Which stations got the new towers?
The installation has been completed across five block sections. The new towers are now functional at the following locations:
- Dariyapur
- Laxmanpur
- Unchahar
- Jalalpur Dhaee
- Dalmau
How will this system help in train operations?
Saurabh Singh, Senior Section Engineer of the Signal Department, explained that the system works as an automatic backup. Usually, stations communicate via underground cables. If these cables are cut or damaged due to weather or technical faults, the network will automatically switch to the towers. This ensures that signals and station staff stay connected, preventing any disruption in train movements.
Who managed the implementation?
The project was carried out under the supervision of the Signal and Telecommunication departments. Sandeep Sonkar, Senior Section Engineer (Telecommunication), confirmed that the towers are now active in his five block sections. Technical teams have already started network testing at Dariyapur and Laxmanpur stations to ensure the system is reliable.

On which rail line has this backup system been implemented?
This automatic tower backup system has been implemented on the Raebareli-Prayagraj-Kanpur rail line.
